    Hi,

    Are you still looking to expand this plugin?

    What I would like to see is something like Microsoft Teams for Buddypress whereby teams can talk about things in a group chat.

    When the chat session starts it automatically creates an entry in the group activity stream and periodically updates it so that the stream has a copy of the chat session.

    Also the chat session automatically closes down when no further activity is happening and the active stream entry would close off with the entire content of the chat session and a close time.

    Hi Nathan,

    Sorry for the delayed response, I forgot to subscribe to the forum, just as well I checked.

    It’s an interesting idea, Let me look into it, it’s possible I could add an option to enable this.

    So if I understand the requirement properly, you want the first chat comment to create an activity, then subsequent chat info to be appended as comments to that activity, and if there is no chat for say 30 minutes any chat after that would create a new thread and log the rest of the chat as comments. Is that correct?

    Hi, thanks for the reply.

    I hadn’t thought about doing it as separate comments as this could get really unwieldy and difficult to following. What I was thinking was a single activity entry for a chat session which got updated with the chat content as new content was added. For example:

    Chat session start at 10:30pm on 23 January 2019 by Nathan Wright.

    Nathan Wright – 10:30pm

    Hi there,

    I’ve introduced rudimentary threads to the plugin. Basically a new thread is deemed to have started if 15 minutes has passed since the last message, this will mark the message as part of the new thread, all messages posted following that initial message will be labelled as part of that thread until the chatroom has been quiet for 15 minutes. After this timeout the thread will be closed and if ‘Post threads to group activity’ has been set all the messages in that thread will be posted in a single activity update.

    I don’t think this relying on a timeout is ideal, but it’s a step towards what you are looking for.

    It would be useful if it was possible for an admin / mod to be able to close a chat session which would write the content to the activity stream and clear the chat content from the chat window.

    Hi Nathan,

    I’ve added that feature now, there should be an update in a little while.
